View all 8 ReflectionsI think of you often Ricky especially when I remember the years of love and service you gave willing in Gods name. I can still feel you scratching my shoulder when I was a little girl, sitting next to you both on the front pew...calling me down for not paying attention in church. Thank you for seeing the little light in me that blossomed into a singing bird. I love you even today still. My friend, My mentor, My Hero!
